SHAM WOW is going to have a presentation there instead
Cancelled????
Wait, isn’t this the most opportune time to discuss, “Predatory Lending”?
Clooless
Unfortunately the guest of honor, RAW DOG, is unable to attend.
Warden didn’t approve furlough something something.
What the hell does this have to do with the price of eggs in China? Truly great investigative work Bess. As Borat says, NOT!
raw dog you’re an idiot. and get a new joke. you’ve used that one (a billion) times before.
Sixth!
Fuck those little HBS bitches. They’ll all be majoring in accounting as soon as they dry their eyes. Two years out of college and they’ll realize Harvard was a waste of money to learn your debits and credits.
@5 – Thanks for noticing. My 4th grade English teacher used to say that all the time. Thought I’d bring it back old school.
@FUN – You’re right, I would never attend such an androgenous event.
Poor babies, no party for you.
No job for you either. Hiring freeze, bitch!
what exactly is Predators Ball at HBS? I read the book, but have no idea about this social event. Too busy doing real work maybe? Don’t mind me. I have a bias against Harvard MBAs. Found in my career that they exceed at theory but fail miserably at practice. Good people to have in consulting or in something like brand managment at P&G, but not in a place where you need to get things done in a nimble fashion.
@7 – I’m an HBS graduate ’05. What are debits and credits?
@10 – too bad hiring freezes dont include grad programs
What number am I?
SPODE
@13 – they do
Here’s the HBS Finance Club mission statement. Hahaha!! On the site they even have a photo gallery with shots of NYC so the clowns will know what it looks like before they go on their “Bozo-Goes-to-Town” field trip to Wall St. Hahaha!!!
“The HBS Finance Club promotes finance related activities and careers throughout the HBS community. Through events such as the Annual HBS Finance Conference and the Days on Wall Street Trek among numerous others, we bring together members of the HBS community and professionals from Wall Street and beyond. The HBS Finance Club is one of the largest clubs on campus with over 500 members and caters to students with a wide variety of finance related interests – whether it is Investment Banking, Investment Management, Venture Capital/Private Equity, or Corporate Finance.”
Hahaha!!!

HBS Finance Club’s motto – “We went to the wrong school”
If you’re smart enough to get into Harvard, you should have been smart enough to you’d be better off at that Wharton, MIT, and Chicago for finance.
HBS is a country club.
Guys who spent their summers at Wall St have now got back to campus desperate, ready to take pretty much every job.
“Deloitte Cleveland office? Sure, I’m interested!” sort of attitude
I’m glad I have secured my job at BCG…
Why is the Predator’s Ball cancelled? Maybe the two organizers would know:
Michael Jones,,, mjones@mba2009.hbs.edu
Ken Auspaker,,, kauspaker@mba2009.hbs.edu
hahahha i’m laughing at the soup label that is in my kitchen next to the cat liter.

@#20 = Clown.
Your post makes no f’n sense, assface. You must be an unemployed HBS alumnus with no job prospects.

You HBS Haters are just jealous you didn’t get accepted. I spent 6 years working as a bond trader and salesman on Wall Street before attending HBS and I can assure you it is a much better place to study then MIT, U Chicago or Wharton. I got into those schools but you know why I didn’t go there?
Because the recruiter at HBS looked me in the eye and said “Hey, what do you want to be doing in five years? If the answer is crunching numbers in excel on the weekends then go to MIT or Wharton…If on the other hand you see yourself doing something more important then that, HBS is your place.” She followed that up with “If an HBS Grad is still crunching numbers five years after graduating, then we as a school have failed. We hire MIT and Wharton finance jockies to do that sort of thing”
I enjoyed the country club and I look forward to the day when you HBS haters are knocking on my door looking for a job.

23 Captures it perfectly… Except that someday someone is going to say, “hey, just what is it that the HBS guy is contributing here? The MIT/wharton/tuck/Chicago guys are doing all the thinking and execution around here. Do we really need a pretty face to spout theory every so often?” If its a consulting firm or P&G, yes, cause that’s their business model. But if its a place that requires action, they pass on the HBS guy every time.
No time for parties when all former finance club members are brushing up on case interviews…ha!
24, I think you miss the point. Crunching numbers in Excel is not thinking…excel is a tool that is only powerful when there is thought and purpose behind the action. Deciding what numbers to crunch is more important then being the guy doing the crunching.
Companies are already starting to outsource excel work to India. Go ahead and compete with a guy that is willing to work twice as hard and can do your job for a third of the price. Good luck with that.
At HBS the goal is not to get a job as a second year associate at some investment bank, the goal is to create the company that hires the bank. Once you understand that you’ll understand the place.

HBS 2008 Graduate (with Honors), your comments are as un-American as french fries. Addditionally, I have found all HBS grads to be generally unreliable and in possession of uniformly bad attitudes. You should be ashamed of yourself you communist pig.

I am going to knock your head off at dodgeball this week.
We’ll see who has a bad attitude then!

“If on the other hand you see yourself doing something more important then that, HBS is your place.”
Grammar is not big on the curriculum at HBS, apparently.
32. You are an idiot. You missed the substance of what that HBS guy was trying to say. you sound like exactly the type of jackass he was talking about. I hope your job gets outsorced.
